Hey what are the chances of getting a race meeting at Patetonga in the karts sometime this summer?

This would be a good idea I think. I know of quite a few people keen so perhaps a bunch of us could sort something out in between the TADKC meetings. I have always wanted to skid the Rotax around Patetonga. I think a meeting at Rangeview Speedway outside of the club later in the season is also on the cards but not to sure how that is coming along as yet.

Couple of things to note:

a/  its not cheap to hire a track

b/ refer to (a) needs committment from racers to put up the numbers.last effort simply didnt get supported and had to be cancelled.

c/ requires an ambo on site-that costs.

d/ its a whole lot of fun

I'm sure there will be at least one outing at Rangeview speedway -likely in March when our calendar has a gap. And yes we can run the test n tune track at Patetonga, but to get the cost in the right area we need numbers-its that simple.
